Found this site through google. I joined a few months after finding it, mostly to play the "you are banned" game in the EoF.

Searching for Wood Firmware updates on Google, haha.

I was planning to buy EZFA ($120, wasn't cheap back then since I couldn't even drive) and stumbled on the site looking for guides. I regret the purchase but not finding this site.

went away after I lost interest in DS, came back for 3DS and PC games.

Long story. But to cut it short, recommended by the sales staff of shoptemp.

Those were the times...

I came here to ask damysteryman for permission to use something in a guide. At first this site (especially the EoF) freaked me out and I was going to leave, but I eventually gave into the dark side and started posting.

If I remember right I wound up here via Google search quite a few times in 2008/09. I registered in '10 for reasons I don't know about because I never posted, I only recently started becoming an active member. But I never want to leave here.

Back when I had first gotten a CycloDS, I had no idea what I was doing with it. I had been asking questions and getting info on the official Team Cyclops forums, and it was working out alright, but it wasn't sufficient for asking about other flashcarts and whether or not I made the right purchase. Plus the community tended to be populated with elitist assholes.
While Googling my question, it's no surprise that I came to GBAtemp on the first page. I got my answers and much more, along with a handy selection of cheat files for certain game fixes, so I decided to bookmark the site.

I had been lurking for a while before joining, but I finally made an account when HeartGold and SoulSilver were released. I created the account to ask about the games, and the various translations already created (making my first post in Raqib12's translation thread). Been a happy and frequently active member ever since.

Yes, I am one of the dreaded PokeNoobs.

Looking for info about flashcarts, to see what I could do with mine.

So many newbies here, see I wanted to come up with something other than "browsing the net for ds homebrew" which is the truth.

So my make believe story is I was browsing round the net for some hardcore porn as you do, suddenly the alarm went off and a pidgin flew into my windows it was in this moment of horny disbelief that i suddenly felt hungry so made myself a sandwich. When I finished my sandwich i went to play on my r4 but it was broke so searched for some more porn but I accidentally typed in the wrong web address and came here (no pun intended)

Was on a very long gone NDS roms site and I was a regular shoutboxer, then I asked something and Luke_c directed me here, after a few months of lurking, using the guides ect I finally made an account and now I'm the most important temper on this site ............ I joke

 

[Arras]

I was googling for ROM sites and I ended up here because of the database. Took me some time to realize it wasn't, but after I found that out I was like: "Huh, looks like this site has useful stuff, even though it has no ROMs." Lurked for a long time after that (I don't even remember how long) until I finally made an account.

 

[TheDreamLord]
